@ irrelevant … thanks … I used your link and downloaded a copy. It is becoming clear to me this computer gaming is altering a lot of people’s lives, especially where a person becomes unable to balance normal reality with virtual realities … where the virtual realities have become dominant. You will have gathered I do not like or trust the internet. Computers and smart phones are spying tools … and now these technologies have facilitated a serious problem for my family … and countless others no doubt, which deeply saddens me. I educated my son on the evils of banking and he saved his money and purchased his car and house and so on. With no financial commitments one jumps to the conclusion of “freedom” … but this stupid virtual gaming world now threatens his very being. What a mess. Also, thanks to all who gave advice on this matter, I read everything and am a trained critical thinker, but this problem is baffling me … overwhelming me. You see I post the comedy, because I need a good laugh right now. Cheers.

I will expand on “freedom” with a true story. A mining industry friend of mine earned good money and purchased “flats’ which he rented out. Quit his day job, bought a shop and repaired household electrical goods, made a lot of money. Later sold everything and bought a large property on the coast which had a trout stream … according to him idyllic. He sank into a serious depression … he told me he suddenly became absolutely bored with everything. It seems to me some people cannot handle “freedom” … what is going on ?

People seem to live better in villages of about 150 members… I suspect that serious depression and also serious violence is minimal in such environment… A balance of giving and taking, obligations in a network over everything…and chopping wood carrying water, gardening, hunting, playing, napping, and story-telling and babies and kids everywhere…

Indeed, is indictment of “freedom” per se. I agree with postulate.

No time to be sad in village, or not much. Isolation not good and gaming is fake substitute for village.

People need a sense of purpose. Retirement kills a lot of people. My brother-in-law, who closed him company and retired this year, seems to just sit there until my husband and I go over and prod into action on a few projects. It would be hard to match the amount of responsibility one has with a company, but that’s the kind of thing that is needed.
So sorry to hear about your son, too! Part of the addiction is as a way to escape the dreaded uncertainty of our times, another part is deliberate tricks to hook people, and a third is a physiological response to the EMFs, which induce endorphin release. I wish him the best and hope he will be able to hit the escape button at some point.

Long ago I saw a photo of Skinner in a room filled with rats in cages and yet the most disturbing thing was somehow his expression and smile.

Reading the article, the implications for closed, highly-interactive environments like computer gaming are clear enough. I am less clear on your mention of these techniques being used by Madison Avenue. Probably I’m overlooking something obvious but How do you see that working?

The mechanisms here are endorphins released by rewards… it is chemical addiction using internal chemicals.

Skinner’s Principles are used but do not require awareness. This is true of both parties, experimenter and subject. Forms an amoral couple. Only ethic necessary is to “decide” to relax and drift in compliant state, Is ethical loop that goes nowhere…but also may be colonized, as game designers and Madison Ave do. Their ethics far more complex. Morals?…forget it.

Is two way function. One rat says to other rat, “watch thus, every time I push this button that schmuck puts food in my cage, I got him trained”.

The Madison Ave fellas, the lobbyists, etc. are empiricists, not scientists. Trial and error with sales figures as feed-backs…they too are addicted, by the way, Of course, it’s been a time since Bernays and Lippmann began their empirical explorations and experiments, and their technical means has exploded with radio TV and the situation now, with reward receivers everywhere, with pretty flickering pictures and software crafted by near to scientific skills. The focus or, as in Radio, “coupling” in gaming is obviously large. The focus of conditioning and the effectiveness both decline when the experimenter has less situational control, yes, (reduced transfer as relationship decouples by degree) but they make up for that with repetition, saturating the “public” space (electronic media everywhere) and invention, as in “Eye-Phones etc…they’re still evolving the swindles.

Skinner is, I think, correct as a scientist, but I found him to be, as you seem to, odious.

Is one thing to get swindled by an honest con, like a carnival huckster, and another matter to use such rude and dishonest science as Skinner discovered – to create behavior inconsistent with health, such as Created Consent for War…buy stuff you do not need or want, borrow money, etc etc..

You gotta a chance at the carnival, but here’s the carnival “secret” – they depend on using your greed. They craft situations wherein the mark gets the idea that he can swindle the carnie. It’s almost a level moral field. They simply sucker the mark into setting aside his ethics. Ethics being situational, or circumstantial (Marx). They say “you cannot cheat an honest man”…find the larceny in his character, exploit.

Was “power engineer” running generator diesels and etc on a carnival – until I was finished studying carnivals. They are often moral and pretty honest entities within their own caravan, by the way. I recall buying bulk fuels for 17 cents per gallon…was a time ago. Nice people, and some are very smart – learned much.

I seem to remember the BFS raised his own child in a “Skinner Box”.

In my first semester of psyc we students trained the lecturer without his awareness of the training, by expedient placement of “stray” rubber band on lectern. Trained him into lengthy digressions from the syllabus until that was nearly all he did in class. Merely making a smile and eye contact “reinforces” the instant he picks up the rubber band, until he one day can’t find it…and gets agitated for not obvious reason. When that worked well, we evolved method to guide him to tell us about his experience in army…similar technique, smile and eye contact. 5 of us were in on the con. It was a mean thing to do. eh?

Alas, not very nice of us, but it was a fair test, and revealed the moral aspect of operative conditioning – which is zero.

Excellent comment, irrelevant; thank you. Your experiment with the psych lecturer is especially remarkable. Did you ever reveal to him, afterwards, that he was a guinea pig? The story made me laugh; I would have loved to have been in on it. Using psych techniques on the person who’s supposed to be teaching you psychology is a clever twist of self-reference, in a certain sense, and it sounds like it was a lot of fun.

I did not say anything, but I imagine somebody did. It was a mean boyish prank.

About this mutual non conscious and sort of non consensual reinforcement…it is a constant, a quality so ubiquitous and normal that it is simply what we are as social critter, or so it seems.

A pretty girl winks at you – and endorphins reinforce your decision to chat her up. Who’s controlling? See? It is mutual, and unconscious. Normal. And it’s been colonized by Bernays BFS and the gang. That’s hardly capitalist, is it?

I have an opinion about teaching… I suspect that teaching and learning may be seen as a couple with a double bond with a circuit of mental coupling – visualize an AC transformer … Now what is ratio? Thus I suspect the relationship between teacher and student follows similar natural laws. This implies best coupling for maximum transfer of knowledge over Time would be 1:1 No? Well, I guess you could have 2:1 (double the teaches,but there would be an efficiency loss)

A Third, Decentralized Deception, plunges into the swinish insipidness of the Bitconnect Ponzi Pig Sty of Sloppy Disgrace, with its clowns and shysters and oinkers forming an image of blithering foolishness all decent persons associated with the space will have to work hard to overcome. LOL. Sad!

The Beginning of this one, Beyond the Bitcoin Bubble must be viewed at least in its opening seconds for the 1999 interview with Milton Friedman describing something that appeared quietly on the scene, under almost eveyone’s radar, including mine, nine years later, as “Bitcoin”.

According to Spomenka Milic, „prvi avion poleteo je izmedju 1882. i 1885. godine, zahvaljujuci ruskom pomorskom oficiru Aleksandru Fjodorovicu Mozajskom (…) U Ruskoj vojnoj enciklopediji (1914) pise da je avion neko vreme ipak leteo, i ova verzija je danas upisana u svetsku avijacionu istoriografiju…“ (Trece Oko #744, 2018-6-5, p.17) – so, your alleged causal link between the Right Bro‘s and 500k above us is a canard! Then, what is the real or Right Story of the Bitcoin? The more ever more people right or write or in God‘s name wright about it, the more every possible concept of its existence and meaning seems to disintagrate or go up in smoke, like unfortunately also airplanes at times (MH370 anyone?). When people speak about a fridge or a bank account or an unhappy love affair, others fairly well understand what is their subject – with „bitcoin“ this never happens. You heap tons of must see youtube documentaries upon us, without ever telling us what it is what we „must“ inform ourselves about? a UFO? a stratofortress? a webbing clothes moth?

„In 1593, a rumour went around…“ about a something which was „partly natural, and partly miraculous“, and, the scientist Horatius concluded in 1595, was sent by God to comfort the Christians over the awkwardnesses they had to endure from the Turcs. In the same year – Fenelon is just as busy handing out reading exercises as Bro93 – Rullandus wrote a complete history of the thing. In 1597, however, Ingolsteterus opposed Rullandus‘ work, who then wrote another one for discounting that of Ingolsteterus. After that, Libavius wrote a sort of encyclopedia about it, including everything written before him and adding his own take. The wonder in question was a golden tooth that had grown in the mouth of an initially seven years old child in Silesia, and the movement stopped when a goldsmith was dispatched to have a look into the mouth of said child, and came back with the news that the wonder was fake news – the child had normal teeth, but someone had added a small leaf of gold… – for whatever reason (my addition).

Well, what is the reason for such things in such cases?

I read an interesting observation in http://thesaker.is/why-hit-pieces-should-be-ignored-by-our-community/#comment-530883, by The Real History: „One of the most valuable lessons for me gained on this blog is not information. It is a template for a certain way of thinking that is applicable in many areas of my life, not just geopolitical. It is also a toolbox of technics of how to identify hidden motives…“ – applied here: we should not ask so much „How can we make the most money out of the information that now there is a new ghost in town whose name is Bitcoin…“ but: what does this rumour mean, how was it brought up and is it upheld, and what can we learn from this spreading of a rumour, a fad, a bad habit?

My internet computer is an old laptop which with many tabs open in the equally old browser has a CPU load of 2-5%. But for some time now this load goes up to 55-60% when I do nothing, when it stands idle. „Who is doing what why, and what are the hidden motives?“ I found that this happens mostly (only?) when one or more tabs ar those of some, not all Russian sites, e.g. as innocent ones as //lenta.ru. Advertising is on all sites, included in the ordinary 2-5% CPU load, it‘s not the cause. So, something else is happening lately, and I assume, it is Bitcoin(s), which – the only real info so far – come into existence by „mining“, meaning the stealing the computing power of millions of ordinary internet users who do not protest or counteract because they are not aware. Some people are – allegedly – getting rich this way, and Bro93 wants us all to join them. Why?

“This means the website or internet provider doing the cryptojacking can mine cryptocurrency with little cost to themselves. One estimate is that 220 of the top 1,000 websites in the world are conducting cryptojacking, making a total of US$43,000 over a three week period. This might not be very much but file-sharing sites in particular have been searching for new businesses models in order to support their operations and cryptojacking could grow into a new income source.

The problem for the computer’s owner is that this takes up processor power, making other operations take much longer. Pirate Bay users have complained that their processors have been using up to 85% of their capacity compared with less than 10% for normal operations. This can be accompanied by a large battery drain. The Pirate Bay has since said this high processor usage was a bug and the system should normally use between 20% and 30% of processing power.”

Trying some RU usual sites once again, I found that their energy profile changed: Lenta.ru now starts with 51% CPU load, then settles at 7-9%; Rusvesna starts with 45%, then continues with 15-19%, Lenta+Rusvesna: 23%; RT starts with 52%, settles at 8-12% with spikes of 20-29%.
This does not look like a constant property of the sites due to e.g. Javascript, but as if between my earlier experience and the new measurements something happened which made someone stop what he did before, whether bitcoin mining or not, – e.g. my public mentioning his doing so. . Before it was a constant load of over 50% even when the computer stood idle for hours.
In early 2016, I think, my internet experience in a small foreign country also changed remarkably after I mentioned its particularities here. So, our Café has a wider audience…

Sergei, Sergei… We know that power corrupts. But you are a kind of hero with a style for many people. And you should teach your daughter to pick a guy with a character and moral values. Not some Yale or whatever decorated psychopath.
Heroes rise, and heroes fall. “Do not put confidence in man” comes to mind…

Argentina signed a loan agreement with the IMF undertaking further cuts in compliance with the genocidal IMF rules.

We have seen this already with the governments of Menem to De la Rúa and the eventual financial and economical default of 2001.

The Kirchner’s managed to bring back Argentina to normal standards and reducing debt to 40% of GDP, while offering our 35% of poor people a chance to have three meals and having access to higher education.

Of course, the local oligarchy and Washington was displeased and took power with Macri to start the destruction of the state again.

If you control the media and the justice, you can do wonders and it was done all over South America getting rid of progressive governments.

In 2019 Argentina will have elections and the oligarchy will loose, since the country will be in shambles by then and totally indebted to the usual international financial institutions.

I hope this time we learn the lesson and we ensure that the oligarchy and the traitors working for Washington finish in jail for the end of times.

“British billionaire Joe Lewis has acquired immense territories in the South of Argentina and even neighbouring Chile. His properties cover areas several times larger than the State of Israël. They are situated in Tierra del Fuego, at the extreme Southern point of the continent. In particular, they surround the Lago Escondido, which effectively denies access to the entire region, despite a legal injunction.

The billionaire has built a private airport with a two kilometre landing strip, in order to be able to receive civil and military aircraft.

Since the Falklands War, the Israëli army has been organising “holiday camps” (sic) in Patagonia for its soldiers. Between 8,000 and 10,000 of them now come every year to spend two weeks on Joe Lewis’ land.”

PS: Revelation 2:9band I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
The author of above words was one of them. He was probably a self-hating Jew.. /sarc

An idea which is publically denied by the Medical Industry, yet there it is, year in, year out, in hundreds of scientific papers that are not questioning the existence of the phenom, but trying to figure out how it works. Meanwhile, traditional herbal medicine is being validated and nobody is watching it happen. Unbelievable! Glad you enjoyed the link, please share. If more herbalists used this resource, we wouldn’t be banging our heads against the wall trying to prove to people that we actually have a shred (or a ton) of “science” on our side!

In the context of the consumerism phase of our history, which strikes me as worshiping the trash the carnival flogs – worthless tchotchkes in reality – it might be of interest to consider the implications of the technical basis of their production and transport and all the rest.Obviously waste, yes, but it is much more serious.

Consider Jevons’ so-called Paradox.

Simply stated, Jevons discovered that increases in production efficiencies do not reduce consumption, but increase it, thus accelerating depletion… Using less coal to make a kwh of power means a double shift at the mine? Yes…

Those who follow the thermodynamics already know that the steam engines went from adiabatic pressures to over a thousand psi in about 100 years (the steel got better). Each order of magnitude in pressure yields something like a similar reduction in fuel consumption.

Wiki on steam engine, Jevons, thermodynamics… They are not tied together in the common understanding, but these are operating, and suggest that the new multipolar world (if it happens) is going to have to make some serious policy adjustments. Really serious.

Consumerism is horrid, but it’s just the froth on the sludge. The serious implications are encapsulated in Jevons when it is seen as a general principle.

Reducto ad absurdem it would seem to imply that when all is automatic robot production with zero human labor, the consumption rate would begin to approach infinite.

Assuming that the present day empire comes to accommodation with the Heartland Empires, which are now seen as States – Ru, Chin, India, etc – without atomic war; assuming that, Jevons’ is going to loom over all.

This is very important if true …

Trump Says Russia Should Be Back In The G7; Ruble, Russian Stocks Jump:
Donald:
“It used to be the G8 because Russia was in it and now Russia’s not in it. Now, I love our country, I have been Russia’s worst nightmare. I think Putin is probably going “man I wish Hillary won” cause you see what I do, but with that said, Russia should be in this meeting. Why are we having a meeting without Russia being in the meeting. And I would recommend that Russia should be in the meeting.
Whether you like it or not, and it may not be politically correct, we have a world to run and in the G-7, which used to be the G-8, they threw Russia out they should let Russia come back in cause we should have Russia at the negotiating table.”

“I have been Russia’s worst nightmare. I think Putin is probably going “man I wish Hillary won” cause you see what I do”

LOL. While trump’s loyalties are reserved for israel, he still is most definitely a typical example of PGPD (pindo ginger personality disorder), which is a subclass of the WLMS (wee little man syndrome) personality related behaviours. ;-D

I’m not sure what PGPD means, but this “worst nightmare…” line sounds like Trump trying to pre-empt silly accusations from the usual haters that he, Trump, is a “Putin stooge”, by reminding the audience that the US is actively trying to harm Russia via economic sanctions.

I feel like there’s some kind of odd double-think happening here, for as much as Trump may actually believe these meetings should return to the G-8 format, it seems more likely that he’s saying this now as a way to weaken his EU partners’ position in the coming negotiations, by provoking turmoil and generally throwing a spanner into the works in good Trumpian fashion. Yet, double-think, because it was the US that previously took the lead in excluding Russia from the G-8 meetings, with the Euro-vassals falling in line.

Trump is just jealous that he has to play with the kindergarten spoiled brats at the G7 while the grown ups are signing deals in China.

On 8th June 2018, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping signed a joint statement touching on some of the most urgent issues in international relations. In so doing, the Russian and Chinese leaders also pledged to take the two countries’ cooperation “to a new level.”

“The amendment, introduced by Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minnesota), states, “It is the sense of Congress that the use of the Armed Forces against Iran is not authorized by this Act or any other Act.”

If the Senate version ultimately includes the Ellison amendment as well, Congress would send a clear message to Donald Trump that he has no statutory authority to militarily attack Iran.

This becomes particularly significant in light of Trump’s May 8 withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal. That withdrawal was followed by a long list of demands by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, which could set the stage for a US attack on Iran.

“The unanimous passage of this bipartisan amendment is a strong and timely counter to the Trump administration’s withdrawal from the Iran deal and its increasingly hostile rhetoric,” Ellison said in a press release. “This amendment sends a powerful message that the American people and Members of Congress do not want a war with Iran. Today, Congress acted to reclaim its authority over the use of military force.”

“This video comes from the movie, “Netherworld.” The song is written by David Bryan, Keyboardist for the Rock group, Bon Jovi and includes a guest sax solo by Edgar Winter. During the making of the movie, the on stage part was shot live, meaning what is seen on the screen is what was actually being played and recorded!”

Just ask Houston White(founder Vulcan Gas Co.in Austin),old compadre, the other day about Winter; said he went to Switzerland last year, got pneumonia and died over there. They were tight in 70’s. Winter had a 53 Cad hearse to cruise, rocked like hell.

It is a good and though question for the soul : no one makes it alone ? deep thoughts to chew for everyone, the answer is not a easy walk in the park, I’m certain that everyone can add to this his/her thoughts. Every soul needs to connect itself to other souls, meanwhile, every soul has its own path to follow in the long way of life, each life is particular, though interconnected with others. Help always comes in your way, but you decide.
The help is not always according to your expectations, you may be disappointed, not once, not twice. And things are rolling in your life, getting easier or complicated. Everyone finds itself in a situation – at least once in life – when one desperately needs to share its cross with someone else, is that someone there in the need or not ? anyway, even if it is, can he/she take your burden off from your shoulders at that moment or not ? or the fate, with it’s grace, decided that you must go on alone, because you must – cause you are at war and there is no time for peace right now ? Of course, you can have some short rest from time to time but then you realize the reality, in general and your reality in particular. Then you realize that you have to deal with two realities : the society you live in and your particular life – and, above all, they interact and create a situation of two-fronts like conflict. The pressure is coming from two sides and you have to deal with both : the realm of the world and that of your inner life…but the world does not know your inner life, your soul, how could the world take your cross ? and the world is made by such individuals as you are, each with his/ her crosses. Complicated issue, isn’t it ?

As complicated as it gets if we keep our end open, the guidance is always there. The only thing necessary is to keep ourselves “hydrated” spiritually. We’re never given more than we can actually handle. Soul is the ultimate multi-tasker.

“A man goes to sleep in the town
where he has always lived, and he dreams he’s living
in another town.

In the dream, he doesn’t remember
the town he’s sleeping in his bed in. He believes
the reality of the dream town.

The world is that kind of sleep.”

Rumi perfectly described our condition. If we can find a truth and live by it, in time we advance to a deeper truth and so on, up the scale, until we return to the Ocean from where we came. We stop being compelled by karma and become masters of our destiny. Despite the disagreements over the centuries ( everyone at one time or another, claims the right to the fruits of another’s labour ) claiming God is their side, they’re doing it in the “name of love” etc. but true love in substance is one. It is given freely in a spirit of self-sacrifice and gratitude. Your comment is spot on.

Dost. definitely comes down on the side of #theyallknew in the Chapters “Someone Else’s Sins” and the first part of “The Lame Girl” as even the mother of Demon #2 ,Nickolai, questions his sanity and as the question ratchets around his circle most admit either his insanity or that there is something “off” about him. This, as the bones of the plot begin to be revealed when his misdeeds of a sexual nature with women start to emerge helter skelter.

Already what nowadays would be called a “trust fund” baby, Lizaveta ,is shown be in the manipulative snares of Demon #1 Pyotr as well Demon #2 Nickolai . Lizaveta…”mobid,nervous” with everything around her “chaos, agitation, restlessness “is definitely conflicted because she “wants to be better than she feels strong enough to be”. Wow! in the 21st century she’d be virtue signaling.

Now Demon #1 has not shown his face yet but chilling enough he sends his emissary, Kirillov, an engineer, who is ( how can I say this?) bat sh-t crazy. As bat scat is a source of viral plague these days, it seems to be an appropriate term for me to use. Kirillov accosts Stefan who is Pyotr’s feckless father and a major character who merits major attention. Kirillov reveals later and in private to the narrator his belief that whoever kills himself ( without fear i.e. not impulsively or emotionally) is G-d. Like I say….horrifyingly bat Sh-t ,19th century crazy. Death cult stuff especially as he plans to carry out his beliefs as some point.

So we have the two Demons with their manipulation and focus on Shatov…Shatov is the more complex figure and comes from peasant background and who was expelled from the University after having been mentored and promoted by Varvara Petrovna . ( rich lady in town) . She accuses him of pride and ingratitude.

What do you think about the comparison of Myshkin vs Stavrogin? I think they are parallel figures. Myshkin(the Idiot) is the morally pure vortex about which the events and other characters swirl. Stavrogin likewise is a vortex albeit minus the simplicity, who means one thing to Shatov and something else to
Pytor Verkhovensky. I think I am saying, that I like to think of Myshkin and Stavrogin as negative space.

Oh thanks for your comments… I hope not to be oppressively boring here with my obsession with Dostoevsky. One can hope that it adds to the delightful buzz just as the bees outside on my honeysuckle add to the delight of my life and that my neighbors who walk the circuit of the mobile home park past my unit.

I will ponder your question because I am not sure what you mean by negative space ( null space? before creation as the creation draws into itself? the aleph ( unspoken) space before the divine breaks forth into the physical realm?)

Myshkin is the holy fool who is unable to draw into himself enough to stand before the world’s cruelties and thus in the end retreats back to Switzerland ( very important as it is outside Russia and a typical time-out place for Russian dissidents ( Lenin) or those who need some type of cure ( Dostoevsky).

Nikolai ( demon #2) is weak like Lizabeta and refuses to humble himself. He wants redemption but is unable to ask for it/she wants to be good but feels too weak to figure out how to do so. Both are conflicted.

He dies possessed by the demon of pride and worse in Orthodox belief by killing himself he rejects G-d’s mercy which is the ultimate of his sins. I think he and Kirillov stand as kind of opposites. There is a section towards the end where Nikolai has a whole discussion with a priest/holy man.

It is very important that Nikolai kills himself ( hanging—it seems to be “in” these days too) inside Russia; whereas Poytr , Demon #1 the unredeemable evil, leaves Russia . Does Dostoevsky believe in evil which is not redeemable …yes, i think he does.

Then what about the similarities/differences between Kirilov’s and Stavrogin’s suicide? Both are manifestations of “illness,” yet in the case of Stavrogin there is an element of compulsion –being driven (as opposed to “will” in Kirilov) I am almost tempted to call Stavrogin’s death apparent suicide.

What I meant by negative space is the area around “the thing” in the unfolding of the drama.

I Could’ve Had Religion
It’s not that I fell out with the man upstairs, as HE doesn’t exist, WE are “him” so to speak. Very long journey on a variety of path’s ahead of most of us. Cul de sac’s at all crossroads/corners. Life is indeed full of wonders, even in the smallest of details, and in the small, seemingly insignificant moments that you for reasons unknown remember for life.

Hi Kent. William Blake was one of the first writers of the modern era to emphasise the importance of us as individuals taking responsibily for our own existence. His basic tenet was idealism, ie; replacing God by man as a creator. Blake, along with a number of other writers was instrumental in breaking up the old trends of orthodox religous thinking in the 18th cent. You are absolutely right in that before man can know God ( ok, if there is a God ) he must know himself first. This is task enough, and until we are able to achieve that, it is somewhat moot to be referring to “God”.

“…In the spring of this year, Communist Party members Valery Rashkin and Sergei Obukhov sent an appeal to President Putin, as well as Ministers for Defense and Foreign Affairs with a proposal to renew the work of the Lourdes SIGINT Station (Signal Intelligence) in Cuba and deploy Russian missile complexes on the island. In their appeal, the MPs referred to the plans of the United States to deploy missile systems in south-east Turkey….”

I remember a VVP quote, but you get the idea…

What did they expect? Maybe it is true, maybe it will soon be that radar and missiles, all defensive, well… mostly? will be back en el Kuba. It;s a natural, no?

You don’t know what people really are until the pressure builds to existential proportions.

This pressure produces diamonds like Vladimir Putin among many others, famous and unsung. If the human carbon components survive it, there many facets that sparkle from their souls . My T Shirt was only given a short rest, Anonymouse. Thanks for reminding me. I may put it on here, in post-op weekend rest.

My belly button was getting a bit soft and puffy. We have the mesh in place now, to keep the guts in check. Doctor’s orders are to relax, so I figured AJ is always good for a laugh, and that would be better than pain killer pills.

But I must say the pressure is improving our Deplorable AJ, and this clip on the supposed “SUICIDE” of a man (Anthony Bourdain…..CNN Chef star…….clearly about to do a Kanye….) recently remarried and never happier according to numerous friends, rings a lot truer than most anything I have seen from his bug eyed raspiness:

I am sure there are less raspy voiced individuals with a lot more and maybe better to say about Anthony’s not very credibly MSM -explained exit, Stage Left, From Life but I haven’t had time…..and besides this improvement in AJ…..nervously glancing out his hotel window in Hawaii, taping this segment, changing his vacation plans, is, IMHO due to serious, life-threatening pressure.

And he does pretty well. I was a bit surprised. Under the circumstances, pleasantly surprised.

More pressure, and more diamonds in the rough are on the way, I predict.

I’m sorry for Anthony Bourdain, the gourmands of the world will miss him. I saw a few of these very entertaining presentations by Anthony made in various places of the world…there was always something to eat…

Is ordinary and true. cathodic (kathodic) reflection of the pressure applied over T (time)…Ordinary in History…and in Myth.

. Similar to vacuum tube, as example (anode/cathode). Naturally Russia has a guy like Russia needs. In a sense, the “West” created the necessity, while the Soviets created the men and the US selected by pressure the man…go figure! No Plan Survives First Contact, Amateurs! Bah! Opponents do not stand still, amigos (addressed to the copshop fellas), well, it’s a poor assumption anyway…

Being rude to Slavic people I have known does not work out very well, not beyond a point (and the West has been wildly more than rude!), yet in geopolitical terms I consider that Russia needs an America – one that follows law and is cooperative, but subservient will do… Otherwise there’s perhaps not enough counterpoise between Russia and China… As was the example of Russian protections of the Union (against British (Atlantisist) schemes) in the 1860’s, it seems again that despite the insults and harms (by Atlanticist elements) in the name of the US, Russia’s interests will push the two Empires together as a coordinated pair, each more or less fairly apportioned. Is time for US to create counter counter poise leader..(and thus dialogue and cooperation)…and I expect that whatever’s left of the State probably will.

Gee Whiz whata Time…Y’all know Johnathan Hoag? Sometimes I see as amusing the similarities with the Heinlein Story

I seem to remember Mr. Bourdain in the course of his show, making editorial type comments against Russia in Syria and/or the Ukraine –basically the George-Clooney-party-line– such that one would expect for someone accorded status on C(IA)NN. I was vexed somewhat because he was otherwise entertaining and engaging. Perhaps the price of celebrity is dancing with those who took you to the dance.

…the price of celebrity is dancing with those who took you to the dance.

The more you allow yourself to be bought ( by the powers that be ), the less sovereignty you have as an individual. Seen this time and again and again. I lose respect for otherwise talented people when they line up as Empire’s mouthpieces.

Who owns my country? A bit of general knowledge that is not so generally known — but ought to be. Posted BTL in SyrPer by PacificNorthWest:

Who owns the US?

The eight largest U.S. financial companies (JP Morgan, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, U.S. Bancorp, Bank of New York Mellon and Morgan Stanley) are 100% controlled by ten shareholders and we have four companies always present in all decisions: BlackRock, State Street, Vanguard and Fidelity.

In addition, the Federal Reserve is comprised of 12 banks, represented by a board of seven people, which comprises representatives of the “big four,” which in turn are present in all other entities.

In short, the Federal Reserve is controlled by four large private companies: BlackRock, State Street, Vanguard and Fidelity. These companies control U.S. monetary policy (and world) without any control or “democratic” choice.

These companies launched and participated in the current worldwide economic crisis and managed to become even more enriched.

The money of the federal reserve is also distributed worldwide with zero interest loans to foreign central banks. These banks then buy up US companies…

[I found a similar list by browsing Who Owns Royal Dutch Shell? One thing is certain, Royal Dutch Shell owns Holland — as may be seen by the way the Government of the NetherLands hastened to cover up for the El Al plane that crashed in Holland with a cargo of Chemical Warfare Agent; and covered up the shooting down of MH17 by the AZC controlled dual citizens in the Ukrainian regime.

“For one day and night when the ship was slowly moving northward, no other ships or planes could be seen. At midnight, the Liberty came across the 626/4 Soviet missile destroyer that signaled in English. The following information was exchanged by both ships:

626/4: Do you need help?

Liberty: No, thanks.

626/4: I will stay at the horizon and be ready to help if you need it.

There have been a long string of publications on the Liberty incident such as the recent book of Phillip Nelson and this apparent new book of Mellen. The Mellen book appears to be a toned-down rehash of Peter Hounam’s book.

The trend in all these books is to shift the blame from Israel and suggest either that the sinking was a joint operation (Hounam) by Israel and Johnson. Or even ordered directly by Johnson himself (Nelson). James Ennes’ book remains the definitive account.

But Jonathan is gone. I don’t know about Mars. Consult RDS on that one.

I know despite distrusting MSM. The local tailor has an autographed portrait photo of the Most Interesting Man in the World up on the wall to the right of his cash register. They are friends. Direct source. No fake news.

But now crypto nerds gush over John McAfee and call him The Most Interesting Man In the World. There has to be ONE, right?

He made a bid for Top Banana with his bet that BTC would reach half a million fiat USD or he would eat his own……..er…..Banana!

He talks sense, with his crypto-analysis, but to build his audience of Fast Learners and Early Adopters….he dips his nose in…….what’s that White Stuff On It?

Darya Stavrovich, the woman singer, was attacked by a nutcase in 2014 who slashed her throat. For a while it was unknown if she would be able to sing again, but as one can see in the following video, her voice returned with a vengeance. :-D

Old story with detail of soviets (new to me) FUBARing Israeli plan to get US to nuke cairo…

“[Soviet} Destroyer 626/4 came to the aid of the Liberty in the aftermath of the attack and stuck by her until US forces were allowed to approach about seventeen hours later. It has been reported that the American submarine, USS Amberjack, was standing by to sink the Liberty and save the operation but the presence of 626/4 prevented this from happening.”

So, Operation Cyanide was agreed on by two parties working in collusion, so both are to blame ?
“The top-secret plan was known as Operation Cyanide and was intended to result in the sinking of the Liberty with all hands, to be blamed on Egypt and exploited to permit the bombing of Cairo and the entry of the United States into the war on Israel’s side. The Soviet Union’s relationships with Arab countries would have been damaged and perhaps cut, with America and Israel seizing control of all Mid-East oil production. Israel’s borders would have expanded from the Nile to the Euphrates Rivers.”http://greencrowasthecrowflies.blogspot.com/2017/07/hidden-history-uss-liberty-operation.html

The theory that the US planned to use the Liberty incident as an excuse to nuke Cairo has been around for a while. Chomsky has stated this and he usually doesn’t make statements that are unsupported by evidence or demonstrably false. The story is false however. The simplest way to debunk this theory is to simply point out that the US military DEFCON status was not elevated during the Six Day Way. During the Yom Kippur

Much of the narrative is also highly implausible although not provable either way. For example, that the US administration would have believed it could have executed a nuclear attack on a Soviet allied State and justified it over the loss of an intelligence ship.

How is this intent known? (never mind the article, I simply want to understand how Mat knows that duel a feud is the intent)

I do not believe that a feud exists, see no evidence at all.

Russ is under a lot of pressure, he’s cast his die to the Fates of Conflict…and he’s been burned bad by the US, and he’s a Texan (not quite a normal Murkin, a Texan), and the nazis are shooting at him, trying to murder him – I take his essays with a grain of salt. I read them, we do not agree on several important points, but he’s in a zone…we are not.

Circumstance creates the ethics of the moment.

Between Saker and Russ there exist, I think, significant cultural stresses. Let that be, as it leads to nothing useful.

First, The Prosperous Suits Are Also Exploring the Crypto Elephant…..the conclusion of my “unsuitable for most eyes and ears” comment above, that ended more suitably for traditionalists, with two of their members intelligently discussing This New Space—-of Decentralized Ecosystems……on the Bloomberg Network…..a feast of ironies……

Then, after a night’s rest, How Macro Trader Novogratz Became a Bitcoin Convert.

Lots and lots of nuggets of “macro” market and evolution of consciousness wisdom in that second segment.

If it suits you.

It may not. Many people seem to have the conception that if everyone were just like them, or very similar at least, The Earth Would Be Paradise. But the rub is, too few others (far less than 1%…..LOL) can be imduced , wooed, to agree!

I look at the Change in Consciousness going on in an environment I do not frequent (but I could have) Bloomberg…… A Community I have spent almost no time in, since graduation in the early seventies. These people neither scare me with their greater financial power, nor does it offend me that they have it.

I am looking at The Change In Consciousness, and pondering how among the Logistical Base of Empire (London, Wall St. Frankfurt, Paris, Singapore….) Allies for a Saner, Freer, Better World……may now be emerging. Potentially, in greatly significant numbers!

IMHO Mike Novogratz is another valued source to check in with occasionally on a flank that is not the most pressing one at this juncture……..but is certainly wide, wide open for surprising gains….and changes of mind set.

I turn on the news and it is non-stop talk about Canada’s G7 meeting, which achieved nothing.
There is nothing on the news about the SCO, which involves half the earth’s population and is much more important than the G7. The western media really wants to keep us in the dark.

No kidding. Best to turn off the news, in order to have one’s psyche not get polluted, nor one’s subliminally implanted “views” not go extinct in the very near term, along with the Dinosaurs of the Dying Disorder.

There are alternatives these days and the social costs of Opting Out of The Empire Matrix are becoming far, far less than in decades past.

These days I even find family members who I despaired of remaining “blue pilled” all the way to their graves……suddenly proudly proclaiming to our seldom seen kin in fly over country that she ALWAYS pointed at the Naked Emperor, declaring, “Why look, he has no clothes on.”.

The Human Ego is Remarkably Resourceful at Excusing the Past! LOL.

But Good Show! Better late than never, sis!

But why gaze on the spiritually ugly and physically repugnant naked “leaders” of the G-6???

Even Trump sees beauty and goodness elsewhere and rejecting a G-7 sidelines bilateral meeting with Ugly May, the Forlorn School Mistress. (Next Post and Link.) and running out of time for Macron, either.

Here in wider format Old World Disorder in Disarray…..like Rejected Teresa May

And now, nominalists, bite your lip and swallow hard…(braying old dinosaurs gave “Order” a bad name)…. a New Just (as in fair, human, loving) World Economic Order is beautifully emerging, “pretty” fast:

G6, G7, or G8? The Post War British Imperial World is Fast Disintegrating

“The G7 is in shambles. The Telegraph this morning posted a report from “allies” of President Trump, saying that Trump had rejected Prime Minister Theresa May’s request for a bilateral meeting on the sidelines of the G7. “No offense,” said one of Trump’s allies, “but she is basically a school mistress. I’m not sure anyone gets on well with her.” Macron, on the other hand, had scheduled a bilateral meeting with Trump, but Trump showed up late in Quebec and the meeting was cancelled.”

The Beauty Prize Is Won By the East:

“Trump, in his press conference with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe yesterday, praised China, and described Asia as it really is — a collection of “sovereign nations” (not “democracies”), living according to “core principles which allow diverse nations to thrive and prosper altogether in one beautiful, peaceful atmosphere. We’re all happy about it. It’s what’s happening now!”

Meanwhile, among the vast unwashed multitudes of ordinary people inside the usa… a jewel of a comment from aging rebel website… the speaker is, it is said, a lady who graduated HS in ’72…and the topic is civil rights as enjoyed by citizens in gudolusa.

Conspiracy Laws are so loose they can put anyone in jail for giving the time of day to anyone. All of East Los Angeles can easily be part of a conspiracy according to Alice Speri and they may not know that they’re in the cops’ gang files for years. Yet the neighbourhood itself can be used to charge anyone. Also, the National Defence Appropriations Act gives Trump the legal right to kill anyone at anytime anywhere for any or no reason including a Biker. There’s no legal limit on the number of Bikers who Trump can order to be killed or at one time. Charging whole Biker communities with conspiracy is enough and it’s here right now as the Mongol copyright case and the New York Gang Prosecutions prove.

This is significant, not only does Murka claim as lawful the unprovoked murder of its own people inside the Country, but aims to classify groups as, well, nutslosen enemies… But (imporant) the ordinary schmucks are catching on… A cathodic response in natural, no?

not nutslosen, properly “nutzlosen” – a term I have head waiting in line at a rural walmart store in usa – already 10 years ago… Two old ladies chatting. Old white cracker types, they knew their status…zero, and said the term in english as “what;s the term, oh yes, useless eaters, that’s what we are to Them…”

Numerous members of crew from 1967 are posted. I think it would be rude to email any of these men. And the CO and XO (who do not seem to appear anyway) would be the only solid sources, but why would they speak? And how believe?

Thus I feel that it would be rude and also silly…

There’s a wiki on the boat, that in part says: “. In 1967, the submarine made a three-month deployment to the Mediterranean between 23 April and 24 July. The submarine was reportedly in the vicinity of the USS Liberty (AGTR-5) and filmed the attack of 8 June 1967 on the ship by IDF planes. ”

“Now the survivors, who have doggedly pursued declassification of documents, have uncovered a new twist. Apparently a U.S. submarine was also present and photographed the attack.

Survivors found four members of the crew of the USS Amberjack SS522 who have confirmed that they were present and submerged during the attack. According to Jim Ennes, a USS Liberty officer and author, one of the senior enlisted men told the Liberty guys that the sound of gunfire, missiles and torpedo explosion was so loud that some of the crew thought the Amberjack was under depth-charge attack…”

The article is perhaps a problem for people who make claims that deflect inquiries…even one officer has spoken…and several enlisted… numerous eye witness source speak describing.

I would ask Mr David H why a retired naval officer might say such things? And how it might be that enlisted rating would confirm?

Then there’s another gem:

” declassified memo about a briefing of the ”303 Committee” (high-ranking U.S. officials) about a sensitive Department of Defense project known as FRONTLET 615. A notation mentions a submarine in U.A.R. waters. At the time, Egypt and Syria were called the United Arab Republic.”

Read and capture full dope on Amberjack? Youbetcha! Memoryhole is always ready for a wash…

Well, since you ask… The presence of a submarine in the vicinity of Liberty on an apparently classified mission is described in Jim Ennes’ book. If you have evidence that Ennes had reason to believe, or even professional conjecture on his part, that the mission of the sub was to sink Liberty I would be quite interested. Personally I consider Ennes the only reliable and definitive source on the Liberty incident. Beyond that, what is the mystery here? If it’s mission was classified why is it a surprise that the sub did not intervene? Assuming the mission of the sub was to attack the Liberty is quite a stretch.

Much of what has been written over the years on the Liberty incident has advanced theories to shift blame for the attack away from Israel. In particular the books of Peter Hounam Operation Cyanide and recently Phillip Nelson. These books postulate that the attack was a cooperative effort by the Johnson administration or was even directly ordered by Johnson. Hounam’s book was quoted on the original link you posted. That book includes the nuclear attack on Cairo nonsense which was rehashed on the blog post you linked to.

Ennes provides his own ideas for the reason for the attack. These are related to the attack on the Golan Heights.

I left this example for study. A decent interval. In Rhetoric the sidelining by attributing to another something he did not say (or ask) is pretty basic.

“Well, since you ask…” and then proceed to “answer” a “question” not asked… basic deflection. As in the ad homenim, the speaker has changed the subject. The classical assumption is that the speaker has no answer, or none he’s willing to make to the actual question, and therefore elects to pretend, and “answers” a “question” not asked.

The question was: “I would ask Mr David H why a retired naval officer might say such things? And how it might be that enlisted rating would confirm?”

He does not seem to have attempted to answer these questions… Instead he seem to have simply changed, rather subtly, the subject and avoided or ignored a great deal, and added interesting opinions.

Indeed, ioan, “Vineyard Lovers” is my style but hold on awhile: a disclaimer I must give while I live. The reason I talk of love is that I do not have it–yet, at least in its fullness; I am bound and chained to my need for attention and ego detention. My heart is weak and in need of a doctor; but that kind of cure is worse than the cause. I have a caved-in hole where my heart should be, thanks to the empire and its history. If my own his-story were known, I would be lumped together with motorbike gangs and their gyrating lyrics and rotating pole-dancers, despite my efforts to keep sacred, natural and communal sex from being reduced to a tyrannosaurus rex perverse hex.

That being said, I must plod on ahead. Remarkably, this week in love’s calendar is themed the Heart, with the poles of Broken and Open, showing in tarot style, a broken human beside five cups, three tipped and spilling blood–and in reverse, an archetypal man and woman with boy and girl, joyfully dancing below a rainbow of ten cups. The Heart card is smack dab in the center of a 7 by 7 49 card grid, coinciding with my bi-polar irregular beating heart, and recent move to the heartland. Although no one understands or agrees with my radical views, I will retype here what I did some dozen years ago when I was 67, and more naive and innocent. It’s one story of 52 that more or less tells true. Joy is my Dante’s Beatrice taking me home by country roads; her words are in “quote marks.”
———————
“Level four, line four, Heart-cross Junction Grand Central Union Station. Look out your window-mirror. See your broken and open heart. From the Lover’s Body Heartland you go left, right, back or forward. This train is onward bound.”

I wasn’t sure if I was in or out of the body but this Lover’s Body was a strange attractress. Her footfalls, vaginal grips, uterine contractions and now heartbeats were one convulsing whole body orgasm propelling me forward. Her bloodlines were all roads leading to home. I couldn’t go back now from this point of no return half-way house. Half measures would not make it. Love goes all the way. All or nothing. Full dream ahead.

“Well said. The Heart card is a cross in the sand, a signpost in a submarine desert pointing home. Heartland is no homeland security fatherland. Men don’t like to ask for directions home, especially from a womam but the bell knells for thee. It belies patrified-petrified lies about gods in the skies, a hollowed scheme, no hallowed dream.”

Her heat was thawing my cold, down-pat world. Beneath the phony baloney there was an original win herstory. She had me by the hand, upside my head and by the short hairs. With her hands outstretched like She’sus, her body was a crest-cross with her heart at the center. I was a moving target in her cross-hair sights.

67 years of following the down-pat road left me at 6’s and 7’s. I was lost in the woods, getting nowhere fast taking the beaten path to destruction. This trip was no drug trip but I was having a breakthrough breakdown. Love was the wind at my back that always came back until I got back on track.

“All aboard.” Joy’s call reminded me that Grandpa was a conductor on the Great Northern and Mom used to take us kids to Superior, Wisconsin on Lake Superior. She’s gone now but maybe she’s still taking me on a Superior Midnight Special with Joy. Flagging down the Double E; don’t it feel good when she’s a-comin’ after me? (It takes a lot to laugh; it takes a train to cry. Dylan).

“Serendipity, synergy and synchronicity? Fancy words for the Heart card. Insert it into your personal computer. Follow your heart. Stretch your arms out to ten holy grails. Say ‘Open Heart’ and feel your Broken Heart open. Works like magic. The Love Government works if you work it. Tits for tats. Lovers’ tits’ tips.”

Attn: Dennis Leary. my chiropractor just sent his weekly newsletter out and I found something which might be of use to you as you had ileocecal valve problems and back pain during the Ojai natural disasters. Hopefully now that the stress is off and you are surrounded by calm family and friends in Wisconsin, your pains are gone:

FYI:

.” In short, healthy foods feed healthy bacteria and junk foods feed toxic bacteria. I ended with the general prescription for us to eat lots of different vegetables, monosaturated fats, and small amounts of proteins that are sourced from free-living organic animals, birds, fish, and what not.

Lastly I mentioned that there was a small subset of humans that would do worse on this otherwise healthy lifestyle. Who are those people, and are you one of them? I am talking about folks that have Small Intestine Bacterial Overload – SIBO for short. What is SIBO? Between your small intestine and colon there is a valve called the ileocecal valve that is supposed to control how fast your broken down food and digestive juices move into the colon. This valve is also supposed to prevent any colon bacteria from backing up into the small intestine. There aren’t supposed to be many bacteria in the small intestine, and a 100,000% greater amount in the colon. That valve acts like your bathroom toilet – a one-way valve out to the sewer. What happens to your house if the toilet fails and sewage backs up into your bathroom and house? Pretty nasty! If that happens to you on your insides it is called SIBO.

SIBO can cause a wide variety of odd symptoms all over the body such as – right shoulder pain, right side pelvic pain, low back pain, pain surrounding your heart, flu symptoms, tinnitus, nausea, syncope / near syncope, headache, bad breath, face pallor, dark circles under eyes, dizziness, and/or bowel disturbances (diarrhea / constipation). The prime thing I look for in patients is either constipation or diarrhea (depending upon whether the valve is stuck closed or open) combined with tenderness in the lower right belly region. The classic symptom test for SIBO is whether you get swelling/bloating that starts 4 to 5 hours after you eat a meal. Bloating in the first half hour after eating is a stomach/allergy problem, and half an hour to 2 hours is a duodenum issue involving the pancreas or liver/gallbladder.

So what does this have to do with fiber? When bacteria break down fiber, one of the byproducts is gas – either hydrogen sulfide (stinky) or methane (non-stinky). If that valve is stuck open, the gas formation pushes the bowel contents (bacteria) backwards into the small intestine causing an overload of bacteria in the small intestine (SIBO). You don’t want this, so you want to avoid eating any fibers that induce gas formation. In this case you follow what is called a FODMAP diet. Here is a sample: Link

So, while we all need lots of soluble fiber to feed the healthy bacteria, if you have a dysfunctional ileocecal valve, you need to address that first. What causes the ileocecal valve to get stuck? The biggest thing is stress, specifically stress that puts you into fight-or-flight adrenaline go-go-go mode. We call this sympathetic dominance in the doc biz. Proper digestion happens when we are in the opposite state called para-sympathetic dominance, the relax and digest state. A bad diet can inflame the gut enough to cause a stuck ileocecal valve. Often times this is the case when a patient comes in complaining of low back pain without any causal injury or insult. A bad diet has triggered an ileocecal valve issue, which in turn causes the iliopsoas muscle to spasm which then yanks the low back out.

Thanks for the info. You’re right, I’m now much more relaxed, in a large, insulated white house, with a large, carpeted room upstairs, next to a nice bathroom with shower, and most of the time, when not shared with visitors, the whole upstairs to myself; with four bedrooms and just downstairs on one side of the house my sister and brother in law, and on the other my nephew’s quarters with full kitchen, living room, etc., once used by grandma and grandpa. Three other houses are on this 3000+ acres in all, of 250 acres of cranberries; the rest plain, marshy wetlands, river and woods; houses for another nephew, and niece and across the road an uncle and his wife. Quite the extended family when two other nephews and their kids and all are gathered; linked to a network of my brother and other sister; church and town ten miles away, and on to this vineyard extended family; and then to our universal space-time family and beyond.

I still get anxiety attacks one or two times a week, though, and the last one brought on symptoms of shortness of breath, leg edema, pounding heart, cool and sometimes blue fingers outside on walks. I kind of panicked and scheduled an appointment with the local GP, general practitioner but I’m feeling better now, and may cancel the appointment if I improve. I don’t see why my body cannot heal itself if I eat well and have tolerable exercise, which is not much now.

After the fire I was stressed out and hurt my lower back moving rocks and shoveling, along with a change from a thick mattress which got burned up, and with move to tumbling mat in motor home, during which I could hardly walk or turn over in bed, but managed anyway to use my son’s car to get to the food store and athletic club. I was close to the edge of invalidism which one false move would have put me over; I wonder now how I ever made it, if not for grace. Then it all got compounded by the county code enforcers who forced me to move to Wisconsin. I still do not understand how that could all get resolved in a week, and avoid falling apart–well, I can understand it from a spiritual point of view.

My digestive problems have cleared up. In Ojai I made bad diet decisions, like eating tons of soaked chia seeds and apples (pectin), which choked my colon with constipation, finally relieved with MOM. Now I eat the same thing every day: cooked buckwheat and veggies, raw fruit, lettuce, avocados, dates, jalapeno; a vegan diet in other words. I avoid salt because of edema and heart weakness and arrhythmia. Thanks for acting and sorry that I’m telling more than anyone would want to know.

Cultural clash in Roseville, CA: During the Memorial Day holiday, seven men ( five of whom required Punjabi translators) were arrested at SunSplash, a local water park for kids, basically, where they were accused of surrounding two 14 year old girls and groping them. Supposedly they were going to be charged but were released mysteriously but the rumor is for lack of proof. The men at the local AA club, many are ex cons doing the arduous work of redemption, are very upset grumbling that some deal was made.

Talking to one of them , I told them that if they were Sikhs then these guys did not “get off” ( they could be Punjabi speaking Muslim, however). The N. California Sikh community has been here for 100 years and has a proud and honorable tradition. They do not have Mullahs—their community runs by a council of 5 men, usually elders who have earned the respect of the sangat. ( religious body as a whole). When there was the flood two years ago, the central temple in Sacramento opened for a free kitchen feeding anyone and they opened their doors to house people.

My bet is that these 7 were sent back to India in disgrace, with a full report given to their families and communities there with such a heavy mark on their record that they will never receive exit papers again from immigration. Women have full equality within the Sikh tradition. always. The religion was formed by lower caste Hindus and renegade Sufi mystics as a resistance to oppressive Persian military invasions with their policy of forced conversions to a form of militaristic Islam.

I assured my outraged friend that, “no, these guys did not “get away” with anything ugly against women if they were Sikhs.”

I count as friends a Sikh family. Wonderful people. Their young adult kids are managing to balance the customs and realities astonishingly well, and the pater et mater also… Good folks. And we are not so far from Roseville…

What’s wrong with me? I like Trump and the Jews; the latter having given us Jesus, Shakespeare and Dylan. I’ll tell you a secret. The Russians and Jews have the most intelligent IQ’s on the planet, and Russian-Jews are off the charts. I’ll reveal another secret, thanks to the Love Army reconnaissance: the RussJews have taken over Israel and are, Jesus-like, kicking the Zionists out of the Temple, and setting up neo-con Bad Jews as scapegoats and fall-guy patsies. They’re writing the script for the new/old triumvirate of Trump, Putin and Xi, based on the old morality play of Octavian, Mark Anthony and Lepidus. Ever wonder why Roman and Jewish noses are similar? Their stamp-seal of approval will be the Nobel Peace Prize for the big three. As for the biggest, we shall see.

Per the old play, three will become two and then only one universal landlord–probably from a retired Lepidus-Xi to either Putin or Trump, depending on age, health and the way the wind blows, for which you don’t need a weatherman. Fake news and philosophy is throwing the world into confusion, with the threat of chaos, requiring a savior to restore order. A braying, old dinosaur like me claims that this new world order is out of order, but who’s going to listen when there are bread and circuses in all caucuses served by obor rail webs?

Follow the money. Name me one nation that has not fallen into the usury spider web, or one male not captured by a venus-trap? Name one that outlaws animal slaughter and egg and dairy stealing? Name one that finds fault with pet keeping? Name one that looks askance at monogamy, drugs, abortion (Eire soon to follow); or one that abhors drugs, chemical and mechanical contraception, prostitution and pornography. Islam is the exception that sort of proves the rule, which is why the plan is to erase it from the map, after using it to destroy Euro-Christianity until Islam’s time comes to wither on the vine.

A couple of cafes ago, someone had a nice satire on how the ROC (Russian Orthodox Church) would replace the Russian Central Bank, complete with Priest Swiss Spetsnaz Guards, to engender complete trust and integrity. I don’t know if this is a premeditated leak or a personal spoof but it predicts truth: the RussJew Oligarchs will use the ROC as the cornerstone of the New Jerusalem Temple of Universal Religion, with its sub-temples, mosques, synagogues, churches, domes, teepees and tents representative of the New Age of Peace and Prosperity, as the old Ashkenazi Russian Khazars (and other tough bloods) used the Jewish religion as their stalking horse a thousand years past. A clean, mean, green, keen, lean and laundered USSR TWO will rule under a new name, inspired by Saint Putin the Great (Saints preserve his soul).

In my imagination, during this Fake New Age, I use the fictional figure of Count Khazar to sum up the power-grid game going on now. I am unable to wrap my mind around the interminable analyses of war, with their indeterminate conclusions and speculations; confusion bordering on chaos, as heretofore cited as imperial psy-ops, taking the heat and spotlight off themselves) dating back to Roman times and further back to the beginning of patriarchy. The world has become a madhouse of intrigue and a hothouse of half-baked dream-schemes like obor and block-chain bitcoins.

Fortunately, fortuitously and providentially, this ol’ braying dinosaur has an alternative to programmed madness/sadness with the Love Government, Army, Bower and Vineyard, who run a counter-intelligence program upon the pogrom of evil. I rest my case with the Ten Commandments of Love, resting on the block-rocks of Moses, Jesus and True Orthodoxy Catholicity. Like Trump, I am being used but not abused by the Love Army, not for my merits but for my weakness, so that the glory goes to love, not to me. “But he said to me: my grace is sufficient for thee, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” 2 Corinthians 12:9.

Don’t misunderstand. I’m not against the good in obor or bitcoins, if they conform to love (which they definitely do not, as is now)–and I’m not doing it; this Vineyard is–I just happen to be part of the Cafe portion who reads the main page but due to my age, prefers a back room stage, from which to stage rear-guard duties for Russia with forays behind empire lines. This vineyard has Russia’s back, despite Fort Russ attacks which smacks of AZ hacks and whacks like me who believe Putin is all in with the big league game, perhaps despite himself, in his role of nationalist-sovereignist-globalist extraordinaire. Relax, for us he plays the good cop role, while Trump plays bad cop, clown, jester and all-around fool-tool for zio-guys, fooling nearly everyone in the process, according to the “divide et impera” / divide and rule rule. My God! What’s the fool going to do or say next? What a narcissistic pest! Or is it me who needs a rest RIP?

My role seems to be Dennis the Menace, Leary the Lepretard or Lord Leary, the foil for Count Khazar. Anyhoo, it’s not about me but all about you and what you’re up to. On this sunny Ojai and rainy Tomah Sunday “One Too Many Mornings,” the Jew Poet sings: “When ev’rything I’m a-saying; you can say it just as good; you’re right from your side; and I’m right from mine / We’re both just too many mornings; and a thousand miles behind.” Behind what? I’d say behind love, especially when she’s behind enemy lines. Love Out Loud, LOL).

Love, Dennis, from Ojai CA & Tomah WI-hi, with best regards from the Ojai Maiden and Tomah Chief, now residing in Dodge City, Kansas, not far from Dorothy’s Kansas farmhouse, and the Wizard Oz movie released in 1939, the year of my release from the womb into the web of time…

If I ever want to alienate friends or family or just bring a chill to any conversation, all I have to do is mention “9/11”. Even now most people (at least the ones I know living in Texas with family in New York) are not even aware that three buildings fell on that occasion at essentially free-fall speed in the path of maximum resistance while maintain perfect symmetry – and only two were hit by planes. Anyone with even a simplistic knowledge of science knows that this is “impossible” yet the myth has become dogma and has shaped the world as we know it. Anyone else have that problem or am I in the early stages of Alzheimer and should I seek help?

If you have any apprehension about the uptightness you expect to follow……the uptightness will follow.

If you have no apprehension whatsoever people will either shut up and listen ….or flee…..like cowards.

Too many people know full well but are reluctant to take on the paranoia and mind control of the cowardly and moronic persons still in the thrall of the occultocracy that designed that Mega Stunt for Inaugurating the “New World Order”.

Confidence is in order, not apprehension of a NWO that is failing badly and a Luciferian Ritual that fatally FAILED in execution….precisely due to neither Flight 93 nor any other substitute airborne incendiary object…. reaching Building 7.

It took a while, but way, way too many people have figured it out and know the whole thing stinks.

Too many of them just figure it’s smart to act stupid and avoid ruffling any feathers of the dead asleep.

Here’s another thing that’s worth dropping your self fixation for a few minutes…..and sticking your Braying Brontosaurus neck into for a closer look:

The CEMEX Business down on the border with Tucson.

It could be more important, as hard as that is to imagine…… LOL

In Oklahoma, the morning before we returned to the Left Coast, my elder (more red-pilled) sister briefed me on that little “The WALL Is About A LOT More Than Illegals and Coyotes” controversy down there near Tucson, uncovered by a group of vets searching for homeless vets to rescue…..coming across a suspected human trafficking site…….for abducted children….was the strong suspicion. And ensuing controversy…… with a quick bulldozing of the site to bury the matter right then and there.

Another reason to be suspicious of Alex Jones, besides him pulling his punches on Israel more or less constantly. And his building up of the reputation of “Sawman” (Craig Sawyer)……yeah AJ did quite a bit to stop Clinton…..but maybe his usefulness ended right there….

I think this issue just might separate the patriots from the shills……but, like Bill Smith in this video link I just sent to older sister……(first I have ever seen of his) in this short email:

The camp is indeed weird and suspect but strange migrant camps are found around the AZ desert all the time.Around Benson, too. The dry river beds are frequently conduits and yes, the presence of CEMEX is interesting and that’s exactly where I’m gonna file that info… “interesting.”

As for the vets, some of them are camped less than a mile from where I live. I _want_ to like them and what they do. I don’t know that much about them and don’t have the time to get into the 4chan discussions about who is who and who got arrested for what. Such info is out there and I suspect as the empire weakens, “discoveries” like this will be daily news. We’ll see where all this goes, but I suspect Mr. Jones may be covering his arse and playing it safe, which is exactly what I would do if it were my call, due to the fact that the people who are publishing this stuff are, sadly, doing so on social media vids. Again, my personal instinct is to support the Vets, I think there is a story here, just not sure what it is yet. My $.02…

“Q: Mr.Ambassador, don’t you think that the Palestinians suffer too much? 50 years of occupation, 70 years of displacement. I have two questions. First: Isn’t it the time to do something about the end of occupation? And not only keeping the two-states solution? Do you believe this two-states solution is still available and possible? On the other hand, I will ask you about these warm relations between your country and Israel. You know that Israel is in violation of the international law and there have been no other country that have violated the Security Council resolutions as much as Israel. But your country although has warm relations with Israel. Can you explain that? Thank you.

A: I fully agree. It is time to end the occupation. We say it constantly. We say that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is in fact the core and the key to solve all other conflicts and puzzles in the Middle East. What is happening around, the solving of the conflict is not very encouraging. We just had the meeting last week on that issue and we were speaking clearly that the Palestinian conflict, unfortunately, has become the hostage of geopolitical turbulence. Unless it is solved to the satisfaction of both Palestinian people and the Israelis, that will continue to be the source of instability in the Middle East. Yes, we support the two-states solution. And I think that is the only viable solution. And this is not only us who believe in it.

On our warm relations with Israel – yes, indeed. We are very lucky and fortunate to be friends of all the countries in the Middle East. Without exclusion. We are unlike some other countries, fortunately. Yes, we are in very good relations with Israel. We understand that there is a need to ensure that Israel has legitimate security concerns but at the same time we are very principled on the policies that Israel conducts vis-à-vis Palestinians and vis-à-vis the occupation of the Palestinian territories.”
